Question

A piece of ice falls from a height h so that it melts completely. Only one-quarter of the heat produced is absorbed by the ice and all energy of ice gets converted into heat during its fall. The value of h is [Latent heat of ice is 3.4×105J/kg and g=10N/kg]:
  1. 34 km
  2. 544 km

A bullet of 50 g is fired from a revolver with a velocity of 100 ms1 into an ice block at 0C. The bullet stops after it gets embedded into ice. Assuming that all the kinetic energy of the bullet is converted into heat energy which is absorbed by the melting ice, find the quantity of the ice that just melted.
